I naively bought a container of liquid laundry detergent from the grocery store. On looking to use it yesterday, I found that it recommended certain volumes to be used in various situations but included no means of measuring. Instead, one was to call them to get a measuring device for free.

I called the number but it told me to call back during certain hours. Calling it back accordingly, a recorded message told me to go to some website to submit a request. I did so, the response I got later on informed me that I must do so via some different website. Having done that, it says that, in a couple of weeks, I'll get a measuring device for powder. With luck, that works for liquid too.

How needlessly aggravating. Thank you, Procter & Gamble.
